Hot Springs, Arkansas

The middle of the city is called ‘Bathhouse Row’. The Lamar (from the NPS) was unique in that it offered a range of tub lengths for people of various heights. It also had a small coed gymnasium with another separate area for women adjacent to the gymnasium. The Lamar Bathhouse closed November 30, 1985. It now houses offices for several park employees and the park store, Bathhouse Row Emporium.//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js
